Meta Now Lets Users Say Gay and Trans People Have ‘Mental Illness’

Meta announced updates to its content moderation policies, ending fact-checking partnerships and lifting restrictions on speech about immigration, gender, and identity. Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan said content allowed in public forums should also be allowed on Meta platforms, while CEO Mark Zuckerberg called current rules outdated.

Key changes include allowing accusations of mental illness tied to gender or sexual orientation, permitting claims about gender-based job restrictions, and removing bans on linking protected groups to spreading COVID-19. Language warning that hateful speech may promote violence was removed, though rules against inciting imminent violence remain. Protections against Holocaust denial, blackface, and dehumanizing comparisons of protected groups were retained.

Meta reaffirmed protections for groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, and immigration status but did not clarify if controversial statements, such as Donald Trump’s comments on immigrants, would be allowed.

🚨 Breaking: Google is releasing most of the source code for Pebble, with its former CEO Eric Migicovsky telling me he plans to build a new watch based on the newly open sourced Pebble OS.

Unlike all previous S Pens found in every other Galaxy S Ultra phone, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen lacks Bluetooth connectivity. However, all other functions of the S-Pen will still continue to work except the air gestures & the ability to use the S Pen as a remote shutter button.

Samsung argues that the reason lies in the popularity of the feature. Fewer than 0.5% of users were taking advantage of the S Pen's Bluetooth functionality worldwide & thus they removed it to make the S-Pen a bit thinner and lighter.

Coming to the insider part, the reason seems to be entirely different. The introduction of the Qi2 "ready" technology brought challenges such as interference caused by magnets, increased heat generation, and lower-than-expected usage rates based on logs. However, Samsung was able to resolve the issue eventually but the cost was too high to justify. Thus, they simply cut off the feature.

Now, some Samsung fanboi has took to Change.org and started a petition noscriptd "Demand Samsung Mobile to Reintroduce Bluetooth S Pen for Galaxy S26 Ultra."
But do petitions like these have any effect on brands?
